Rephrasing for clarity, but please do not use F&F (even blank ones) for commission payments; this is and ALWAYS HAS BEEN against ToS.

If you're getting paid for a service, use invoices.

F&F has no protections in place, especially for buyers, and using it to bypass fees is, again, against site ToS.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

Oh my goooood I know what you mean - I just hate the though of all these cards sitting with people who don't even like them. It's horrid.

Hey did you know that I sell kobold shirts which are designed by me then locally screen printed in the UK on extra long super soft ethically sourced cotton t-shirts?

No AI slop or no corporate bs here, just you supporting an artist and helping me keep the lights on.

If you want shirts created by a furry and an absolute delight to work with, I highly suggest taking a look at their shop.

No joke, they're the comfiest shirts I own, they didn't skimp out on quality for sure!

It is! I've got a special USA part of the shop now - all tariffs and duties are rolled into the prices there meaning what you see is what you'll pay (I send everything with delivery duties paid so no surprise tariff/duties for you).

I'll keep an eye out for it - didn't like the sellers that had it available.

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Playing a bit of catch-up with the comms today!

A drawing of a kobold jumping out of an open ball like object. If this was a real thing I’d be making into a game Nintendo would sue me.

Sadly the entire market is 'selling to someone who is a bigger sucker than you' and I'm doubtful it'll pop any time soon because people keep buying...

PS. it's me, I'm the asshole caring about Murkrow cards, working on my master set, and now I'm feeling STRESSED

Who the fuck is out there caring about Murkrow cards of all things?! It's not some big popular pokemon.

It's one of my favourite retro cards, I bought it for a little over a tenner (which was a bargain, in all fairness) but knowing I may never be able to afford childhood chases again is depresso af

AAAAAAA, I can't believe I managed to get this card in this condition for a bargain price... I'm SO happy to finally own it!

I knew this was going to happen, I called it when I got back into collecting and the investment bros also started to get more and more into it... I hate how the entire retro world is slowly getting priced out of the budget for most real collectors

My wallet is crying, but they're just too cute!! I also really love the colour of the shell and the faceplate is so nice too!

It's also nice to know that this tama unit will allow people to try for these combos straight away (forgive my terrible photoshop job)

eBay (Japan)! These are old mega block bricks - sadly they go for a premium, even in heavily played quality, but a friend got this one for me ;A;

Pure cardstock smells best ironically, I love me some boring bulk for this very reason 😂
